Elephant is the largest land mammal. It is considered in the Vertebrates and belongs to the class, Mammalia and Order.Proboscideea. Elephants have a life span of fifty to sixty years.
Most of the elephant population is found in whole of Africa to the south of the Desert of Sahara. They are found all over the world in usually any kind of habitat. Thus elephants can survive in the wild and also in the developed urban areas. The environment that these animals live in should have sufficient quantities of food and water.
Elephant generally spends sixteen hours of a day in eating. This population is hunted for their ivory and is thus considered among the endangered species. Another reason of their declining population is the loss of natural habitat. These animals consume grass, leaves and fruit. They even eat twigs and bark.
